Betsey Johnson Will Show During New York Fashion Week After All

It looks like New York Fashion Week will get to see yet another of Betsey Johnson's famous cartwheels after all.

According to a release, the designer has changed her mind about not showing this season.

Though Johnson publicly announced last week she'd be "taking the FW13 [show] season off to focus on brand expansion," including a fragrance launch and new reality show, the designer has now decided not to skip New York fashion week. Her show is scheduled for Feb. 11 at 5 p.m at the tents at Lincoln Center.

“I just could not stay away from fashion week," Johnson said. "I wanted to do this for myself and for all of my fans to show that I’ve still got it and I am not going anywhere.”

Considering Johnon's recent declaration of bankruptcy, some Betsey fans were no doubt worried the designer was in trouble again when she cancelled her runway show. We're glad that Betsey is putting those fears to rest.

Plus, New York Fashion Week really just wouldn't be the same without her.

I'm not at a sports bar. I'm not eating buffalo wings. It's a Tuesday night and there are no sports to watch (unless you count dance moms, which I'm DVRing). So I've given in and I am AT FASHION WEEK, LIVE!! And I have news for you--it's a shit show.
No, really. We're outside Betsey Johnson and this place is out of control.

New York is unreasonably cold right now. Like impending-blizzard-freeze-your-Rag & Bone-covered-butt-off cold. This is exactly why we, and fashionistas nowhere near New York, are praising the fashion gods (more like IMG & various PR people) for the glorious amount of New York fashion week shows livestreaming this week. We wrangled 89 shows (89!) and presentations to tune into over the course of the next week...with even more coming in! The best part? You won't be judged for taking in these shows in your pjs over some popcorn or pizza or half a bottle of wine...
